I am so happy for my dad! He is 108 days sober!! Every time I think of this, I just want to cry.

Growing up, my dad was the perfect dad. He never missed a game, a recital or a family day. I've been without the dad I grew up with for quite a few years. He started drinking about 10 years ago. I didn't like talking to him and I wouldn't take my kids around him for more than 10 minutes at a time. If my phone rang after 7pm and I saw it was him, I'd let it go to voicemail because I knew he would just get me upset. BUT NOW, but now... it is a pleasure talking to my dad again. I just wanted to share this because I am SO PROUD of him! And, yes, I have told him this. Thank you for listening. Please send your prayers his way that he continues his journey on his path to sobriety.
 
congrats to your dad! That is awesome! My brother is going on 22 years sober.... it's a long journey that never ends. Encouragement is the key! Really happy you have your dad back!
 
So happy for you and your Dad, and your family.

My dad had been struggling with alcohol addiction for many years and had hit rock bottom. He realized that he had to make a change in order to save his health, relationships, and overall well-being. After attending a support group meeting, he made the decision to commit to 108 days of sobriety as a way to jumpstart his recovery journey.

Throughout his 108 days of sobriety, my dad found solace in writing about his experiences and feelings. It was a therapeutic outlet for him and he also wanted to share his story with others who may be going through a similar struggle. He hopes that his book will inspire and help others on their own journey to recovery.

Yes, my dad faced many challenges during his 108 days of sobriety. He had to navigate through triggers and cravings, as well as deal with the emotional and physical toll of detoxing from alcohol. However, he also had a strong support system in place and utilized various coping mechanisms to help him stay on track.
